How to explore Tokyo?

Who is smart about getting around in Tokyo in a cheap and efficient way during their citytrip, hop on a metro or train. Particularly the Yamanote-line combines all major city sights and attractions and brings you fast from your hotel to any of Tokyo’s hot spots. You may need to board a bus every once in a while or bike down the lanes to cut visiting time short and make the most of your day while you get some exercise on top.

It is not necessary or advisable to drive your own car in Tokyo. If you wish to make a day trip from the capital rather board the stylish bullet train or Shinkansen. Kyoto, Hakone and Mt. Fuji-san are favourite destinations.
